That is why I was thinking MacOnLinux. If MOL runs the applications it must
do some conversion so that X can view the apps. So if MOL ran the app,
displayed it on X, and then the X session is mirrored to the clients, wouldn't
that work?
I have no idea. Just a thought. Jim M already pointed out that native OSX
apps wouldn't be ported to work with X so I saw this as a workaround.
